  • themrmocha Mr. Mocha (@themrmocha) reported

    I miss the Overwatch Lootboxes. I know the industry had a problem, but I feel like OW did them really well. Now it’s 20 bucks for a skin. I would’ve payed 30 bucks for lootboxes for just a chance to get that skin among others.

  • chri_hin Christian (@chri_hin) reported

    Can I appeal my Overwatch competitive ban since the terrible servers lagged me out? I was lagged out because of error code “LC 208” @BlizzardCS

  • Mykuuuuuu Xenobrainrot Chronicles (@Mykuuuuuu) reported

    Not the overwatch devs trying to gaslight us into thinking their performance issues are our fault or non existent

  • iLoveCowBoyCoc Evon (@iLoveCowBoyCoc) reported

    @BlizzardCS can you please address why thousands of people Overwatch is crashing without a error message. I haven't been able to play since launch

  • Snarsnippy1 Snarsnippy (@Snarsnippy1) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent oh blizzard fix the bug on Xbox we’re if you get an achievement on overwatch 2 I get kicked off the game now I have a 8 hr suspension on comp cool

  • JackieAlexender Jackie Alexender🔜 MFF (@JackieAlexender) reported

    How much of Overwatch 2's issues is blizzards fault and how much is the devs fault. After the resurgence of Cyberpunk 2077 showed me how much of a difference that makes... How much blame lands on the devs shoulders cause we all know blizzard is a ******* TOXIC ******* corp.

  • Poopoomonke PooPoo Monke (Pngtuber/Vtuber) (@Poopoomonke) reported

    SORRY stream had to be cut short, i figured out that my pc isnt good at running overwatch 2 tho, so im gonna try to fix that and make the viewing experience better!

  • hugo1_k Hugo1K (@hugo1_k) reported

    @elonmusk Can you buy overwatch 2 to fix that **** pls

  • Maattee98 Mattee (@Maattee98) reported

    playing overwatch something feels so off, idk if it's input delay or floatyness, something just feels of and idk how to fix it

  • autumndase 🌈😾🕊️🍂☕🍁🎃🎂🎉 (@autumndase) reported

    It's funny how the community is bashing Paladins saying that Overwatch 2 is going to kill the game when in fact Blizzard and their OW community themselves are literally killing their own game with aimbots toxicity battle passes and broken heroes 🚬

  • AtinyoAMF Jake (@AtinyoAMF) reported

    Being new to Overwatch I don’t know if I’m the problem when I lose so I’ll just say it’s not me

  • pumpkincandys riri 🎃 (@pumpkincandys) reported

    is anyone else having this issue where the controller on console for overwatch 2 is moving on its own during game? like going left, right, really fast and on its own ?

  • th00t_patr00l jason™ (@th00t_patr00l) reported

    @BlizzardCS Having trouble getting my overwatch 1 items. I play on nintendo switch and lost all my items in overwatch 2. Migration says complete but doesn’t give me my skins.

  • pleasecancelme_ J.D. (@pleasecancelme_) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent fix your damn overwatch servers

  • yukin0oo C (@yukin0oo) reported

    @texasallstar214 @seomintwo sounds like a skill issue, playing quick play does not represent the skill of overwatch nor does it represent the skill of valorant in its respective mode. also just becuase overwatch has a higher time to kill and is more objective based doesn't mean its a moba you are delusional

  • ItsMarwan09 M.J (@ItsMarwan09) reported

    Overwatch needs to fix their server @PlayOverwatch

  • evanlleonard Evan (@evanlleonard) reported

    @Qwik You stole people's overwatch license by adding a "2" and then made them accept new terms of service. Should have just stopped support for OW1 and released OW2 as a stand-alone, but then you couldn't tout YEARS of players as "WeEK oNe pLayErS" for stock holders.

  • mrcaca420 Andrew P (@mrcaca420) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Why can’t I join back into a comp game after lagging out? You could in overwatch 1

  • ItIsDoze 🏴‍☠️ (@ItIsDoze) reported

    everyone complaining about overwatch rn just sounds like a skill issue to me. this game is not hard at all

  • WEDKU_TAKYON Thus Spoke Rho (@WEDKU_TAKYON) reported

    Overwatch 2 is fun. 5v5 feels a lot faster tho it's pretty hilarious they had such a huge tankfest problem they had to remove two slots. Anyone wanna play hmu

  • HelpLifeAIert HelpLifeAlert💋 (@HelpLifeAIert) reported

    @WhoizRodney I don't know if this applies to you or not Chevy, but Overwatch is having an issue with dropping people to Bronze for no reason. They said they were going to boost competitive points to make up for it, which sounds like a stupid resolution.

  • Deadblade_ Daros (@Deadblade_) reported

    @PaladinsGame Dude is your entire game just buggy and filled with balancing issues, been playing three days and it’s just horrid you and overwatch 2 need to get your **** together. **** sakes

  • umbralwarlock sofie @ OMORI (@umbralwarlock) reported

    i am literally gonna cry i’ve been trying for 5 ******* days to get Overwatch 2 to open, it finally did earlier today and then i went out to run an errand and when i came back it was broken again

  • gmotheguy Big Money G-mo (@gmotheguy) reported

    You see the reason Activision Blizzard wants you to have a phone number with a monthly plan attached to your account to play a free to play game is so they have a record of suckers who will play Overwatch and are completly ok with small monthly payments for a **** service.

  • ferrilol 🍫Nera Forest🇳🇿 (@ferrilol) reported

    @kobayashimaruu Dang. Hopefully they fix it soon. Besides all the bullshit, overwatch 2 is fun. Hope ya get the chance to jam it.

  • EllamaePleb Ellamae 🌸 (@EllamaePleb) reported

    I seem to have left all of my frames in Overwatch 1 Anybody know a fix?

  • NickParkerGG Nick Parker 🎃 (@NickParkerGG) reported

    Overwatch 2 needs to fix the fact you get disconnected when you unlock achievements on Xbox

  • steve2012hynes Steve Hynes S (@steve2012hynes) reported

    @RaandomR6 @Alpezrr @BlizzardCS Which is not the case here , they rebranded overwatch 1 as 2 and made it free to play . Totally fine with it brings more players to a dead game amazing. The issue is they took a game granted dead but functioning and just made it worse. If the game is not ready don't release it.

  • OkonoPancake 🔞🥞𝐎𝐤𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐲𝐚𝐤𝐢 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧🥞🔞 (@OkonoPancake) reported

    Might stream overwatch later today because I have a problem 😌

  • psonn0291 pson (@psonn0291) reported

    I think overwatch is bound to dying real quick, too many crippling problems. Balance absolute dogshit, completely broken matchmaking, leavers in a loop in normals, server perf much less than stellar
